Brigitte Girardin, French delegate minister for cooperation, development and francophony, is slated to arrive in Cambodia on Friday to reevaluate the 2005 partnership agreement between France and Cambodia, the French Embassy said in a statement France has committed between $142 million and $160 million in aid and cooperation to Cambodia for the period 2006 to 2010, the embassy said in the statement. During her three-day visit, Girardin is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen to review the multi-million-dollar cooperation agreement, and also to visit the France-supported Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority facilities, the Pasteur Institute and the French government's Ecole Francaise d'Extreme Orient in Siem Reap province.
